DMAD Reservoir Boondocking - BLM

The reservoir provides irrigation water to four communities - Delta, Melville, Abraham, and Deseret - hence the name. The southern half of the reservoir is surrounded by BLM land and can be accessed by several roads. We wanted a quick overnight stop so we picked the easiest spot which is marked by a green star on the map. It's a loop off of a good gravel road and is close to US 6 but peaceful at night. We drove down the road to check out the spot marked with the red star which has a view of the lake but with rain in the forecast we did not want to take a chance on getting stuck in the mud. Utah's soil is fine and silty and can become a quagmire and slippery if it rains.

There might be some good spots east of where we camped and there are more access roads farther south off of US 6.  I've found that this map is very helpful for making sure that we are camped on BLM land. 39.40995, -112.48364
